V 6 clutch plates

Post by piebald1962 »

Hi i need some help. I have just had two sets of clutch plates delivered for my essex v6 and neither of them fit. They do not line up with the three pins on the flywheel. If i line one up then the other two locating pins are about half a pin out along with the four remaining securing bolts. I have been told by my supplier that these two sets are the only ones listed for the essex v6. They have asked me whether the flywheel may have been changed at some time. As far as i know it is the right flywheel for the engine, unless any one can enlighten me on this matter. I do not have the old pressure plate as i chucked it out last yaer , it was in a terrible state as had been sitting in water. I hope some one can help me as the boats not a lot of good with out the engine and the engines not a lot of good with out the clutch. Stephen
